Since I can't resist the temptation to use your own line,
please read my post and don't put words into my mouth!

I wasn't talking about repeated ads (note I didn't use the word)
but ads in general.

I'm well aware of the person who objects to any ads, I didn't
acuse you of doing so. There are actually a few others who
complain by email and not in the newsgroup. These are the
people I'm talking about.

Plenty of people would objects to repeated ads (depending
in frequency), completely different matter and unconnected
with the point I was making.
